Atomic Books Comics Preview - April 25, 2014
In the weekly Atomic Books Comics Preview, Benn Ray highlights notable new comics and graphic novels.
Benn Ray is the owner of Atomic Books, an independent bookstore in Baltimore. The Mobtown Shank is his blog, and his comic Said What? is syndicated weekly in the Baltimore Sun's B-Paper.
Atomic Books has been named one of Bizarre Magazine's 51 geekiest places on the planet, as well as one of Flavorwire's 10 greatest comic and graphic novel stores in America.
Angie Bongiolatti
by Mike Dawson
Dawson explores the work and play lives of a group of young New Yorkers.
Eltingville Club #1
by Evan Dorkin
Amongst comics nerds in the know, Dorkin's Eltingville Club is the stuff of legend. It's kind of like Big Bang Theory - but for the sort of people that Big Bang Theory exploits and mocks.
Lumberjanes #1
by Noelle Stevenson / Grace Ellis / Brooke A. Allen
The first issue of a new limited series, Lumberjanes is sort of Buffy The Vampire Slayer at a Girl Scout camp.
Questions, concerns, comments or gripes – e-mail benn@atomicbooks.com. If there’s a comic I should know about, send it my way at Atomic, c/o Atomic Books 3620 Falls Rd., Baltimore, MD 21211.
